YET MORE HORSIES!!! Hooray!
This book, the sequel to The Heavenly Horse from the Outermost West, was ridiculously well-loved by me as a kid, and it has stood up to re-readings as an adult well enough, though I don't revisit it as often as its prequel.
It's another fantasy set in the realm and mythos of equines, filled with warring gods and brave mortals in peril.
also: HORSES!!! YES!

But by the end, he loses something, and well at least we still have the geldings. But I would like to see a third book, i would like to know what happenes to El Arat and her fillies. Piper is still young enough, he could r...more
A childhood favorite of mine
love it lots of thrill
Even better than the first book. This story revolves around Piper, the first son of Duchess and The Dancer. Piper is called on to rescue his sire and dam after they've been tricked onto the green path, and into a sort of limbo, by the Dark Horse.
